Hi Wendy, on one of your posts to TIPSY, you said I would give a 30% discount on an unwired lamp. That should have been $30 off for wiring parts & labor.

Tiki Zen mentioned UV rays hurting the lamps. I have had a couple of the resin chunk lamps hanging outside for most of 45 years ALMOST without any problems except the wiring looked a bit done in but still worked. I washed off one with hot water and soap and sprayed it with a satin clear finish and it looked very good. Sold it a few months ago. The other one had one small hairline crack on the putty seam which took about 10 minutes to fix.

KonaCat has a magazine full of wonderful photos of his home with his Resin chunk lamp collection. Roge says that the only ones that could be his are the globes. I need to contact KonaCat to see if there are any labels inside the lamps.

Meanwhile I have fired the Bumatay for the next lamp style. They come out of the kiln tomorrow and then if they haven't exploded its off to Grass Valley to drop all the sculptures off.
I also cast some of the Bumatay so I could make a fish bowl. I made this yesterday.

Roger has lots of lamps made for sale with and without tikis. Check them out and enjoy. Cheers, Wendy

Hi Friends, we made the trip to Grass Valley yesterday to take more sculpts to Roge. He and Miguel have been busy building up some stock for sale and I took some photos. One new development is a wonderful open bottom lamp that can hang over a table.

I do need to do some more work on my tiny sea creatures. They were not thick enough to mold so I brought them back home. The four Bumatay came out of the kiln just fine and they are going to mold them soon. A lamp could be made with just the Bumatay and big chunks.

Here's some of what they have available right now from Roge on Etsy. Cheers, Wendy

The mold of the Bumatay has been made. The rest of the sculptures need a base added before casting.

If you would like a lamp with these and chunks but no other sealife creatures just let Roge know.

Hi Friends, I've actually gotten back to working on the sea life creatures that may be added to a Bumatay lamp. I needed to make them thicker so they can be set into the resin instead of on top of it. Cheers, Wendy

The clay is very hard unless heated to 150 degrees.

Pressed in the sculpts.

Cut around the clay.

Worked to seal them.

More to do and then comes the fine tuning to repair this work.

Roge is ready to make lamps that fit your color scheme and desires!
Cheers, Wendy
